YorN, I have always been fascinated by the homes they make out of shipping containers.
There is a huge glut of shipping containers cause of all the stuff we buy from China. They are starting to use them in some really creative ways, like emergency housing for areas hit by natural disasters (like Haiti, shown here:

But some are so cute! And they are virtually indestructible, if you have to worry about tornadoes or hurricanes.
Plus, you can ship them pretty much anywhere, on trains, ships, so if you decide to move, you can take your whole house!
And you can easily expand by just adding more containers.
There are some really fancy ones you can find that I am sure cost a lot of $$, but there are also very simple cheap ones like these:

I think this is a fascinating 'green' idea and if I didn't' already have a house, I would definitely investigate.
